I copy and pasted this ...

If you open up a Google window and search "The Wizard of Oz," the results page may seem pretty average.

That is until you click on the ruby slippers, appearing next to the movie's name.

Voila! You've been whirl-winded back in time to a search results page far, far away that appears in black and white.

Oh my! This is terrifying! Take me back to the present where there's color on my screen!

Fear not. Just hit that little twisting tornado, and that will send you back to where you came from.

Why is Google playing games with our search page? August 25 is the 80th anniversary of the classic musical fantasy.

Judy Garland starred as Dorothy Gale, the girl from Kansas who had dreams of going "somewhere over the rainbow." She and her dog Toto made an enemy the Wicked Witch of the West after her dreams came true and sent her to a magical world through

clever

MilkTwoSugarsThanks · 25/08/2019 08:09

But it's the wrong way round! It's a tornado that sends Dorothy away and the ruby slippers bring her back!

How irritating 😠

HeronLanyon · 25/08/2019 08:12

Thanks - what fun (even if topsy turvy). Top film. Big Judy fan here.

mumsiedarlingrevolta · 25/08/2019 08:14

very cool!! Glitterball

UrsulaPandress · 25/08/2019 08:29

Thanks. Love the film but I'm still scared of the Wicked Witch. Saw it as a child at the cinema and was bloody petrified.

Tink1990 · 25/08/2019 08:46

That was fun Grin

GrandmaSharksDentures · 25/08/2019 08:53

Love it!

SeaViewBliss · 25/08/2019 08:59

DD is going to love that!
She’s 23!

Shesellsseashellsontheseashore · 25/08/2019 09:05

That was good. I like it when Google do these things. Similarly, if you type Thanos, from the Marvel Avengers films, and click on the gold hand at the side. That's a good one too.

Rockbird · 25/08/2019 09:07

What fun! Love it. Hate the freaky film though Grin

Skittlesandbeer · 25/08/2019 09:23

Oooo I hope it still works tomorrow, my DD would have a blast showing this at school!

feelinhopeful · 25/08/2019 09:37

@MilkTwoSugarsThanks my 6 year old DD also pointed this out!
